New car manufacturers reissuing classics is very much a thing this year, and the announcement that Aston was going to recreate the DB4 gave us one of our favourites. We’ve not seen any finished cars yet, but that’s the good thing about this reprints – we’ve already seen it, lusted after it and parked it in our dream garage. It’ll cost you north of £1m and you can’t drive it on the road, but if you want to give a slice of your lottery windfall an exceptionally pleasing shape, this is surely the way forward.

This is *GQ’*s new favourite grand tourer. As well as the interior, which features "brogueing", wherein the leather is quilted and perforated like a classic gentleman’s shoe, it gets a 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12, good for 600bhp. That means it’s powerful enough to break the 200mph barrier and hit 60mph in less than four seconds.

Bentley wasn’t mucking around when it built the Speed – there’s 530bhp and 811lb ft of torque tucked away in its 6.75-litre V8, which gets this 5.5-metre, 2.7-tonne car from 0-60mph in 4.8secs and on to 190mph. Yet none of the old world soft-touch luxury’s compromised. The wood’s still stored in a humidor for a fortnight before it’s applied to the interior, the leather comes from a Scandinavian supplier that refuses to pen its cattle with barbed wire (so the hide’s not nicked) and it’s deathly quiet. Truly, a remarkable thing.

This year, the Bavarians created the ultimate surface-to-surface command centre for HNIs in a hurry. The M760Li has cameras that scan the road ahead and precondition the suspension settings so your driver can let the V12 rip. And it rips – the four-wheel drive model gets to 62mp in 3.9 seconds (the same as an Aston Martin Vanquish) and on to a tethered 155mph. Also, they look great covered in eggs.

When the Bugatti Veyron landed in 2005 the automotive world shifted on its axis – every speed, power and price record was obliterated and the benchmark was kicked up higher than nearly everyone expected. This year came its successor. The difficult second album. We’ve not driven it yet, but it’s a meeting point for some huge numbers. The engine produes 1479bhp and 1180lb ft, it gets to 62mph in less than 2.5 seconds and it’ll hit 261mph. Yours for £1.9m.

Wealthy people buy Ferraris. They’re expensive cars. But really wealthy people want something no-one else has, which is why even a regular Ferrari sometimes just isn’t enough. The company will happily entertain designing a one-off car for its most committed clients, but has lately been mining a rich seam in what it calls its "limited series" cars. This is one of them and it’s been built to commemorate 50 years of selling cars in Japan. It’s based on the 488 Spider but that bodywork… You want one.

The motoring press exalted the virtues of the first Ford Mustang that’s ever been officially imported to the UK in its 52-year lifespan. But they got it a bit wrong – the exalted V8 model makes a nice noise but the lighter 2.3-litre Ecoboost gives the ‘Stang the sort of balance we rarely see from our American cousins.

The thirst for storied British classics cars among high net worth individuals is intense, to the extent that a Le Mans-winning Jaguar D-type sold for $20m-plus at Pebble Beach last August. So Jaguar thought it would help out those with more constrained means and offer a brand new classic XKSS for a mere £1m. It’s possibly the most beautiful car – and, indeed, thing – ever built, and now the poorer end of the super-rich can join in the fun.

Four words: the seats are silk. We could leave it there, but the latest Mas has a lot more going for it than just haberdashery. It gets a Ferrari-developed, twin-turbo V6 engine shackled to a four-wheel drive system, bringing some unexpected utility to Italy's most individual and charismatic marque.

Don’t dismiss this as a hairdresser’s car because, for one, it’s dreadful at keeping your hair in shape. If you’re after low-calorie, high fibre motoring fun, the little roadster is absolutely the way forward – and, indeed, sideways, because it’s rear-wheel drive. It’s 50 per cent as fun as a lunatic track thing like a Caterham or Ariel, but with 100 per cent of the comfort and costs 70 per cent less.

A luxury family SUV will easily set you back £100,000 these days, so a fully-fledged carbon chassis McLaren for £120k seems like an absolute bargain. The 540C doesn’t let itself down in the performance stakes, either – the 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 makes 533bhp, gets it from 0-62mph in 3.5 seconds and on to 199mph, so even the really expensive stuff won’t embarrass you when you’re rumbling through Monaco.
